Jordan Peele-produced sports horror Him, starring Marlon Wayans, hits Peacock on December 19, 2025, bringing the divisive chiller home for the holidays.

If you skipped the theatrical chaos and the early home-video rush, here comes the easy button: Jordan Peele's latest Monkeypaw-backed horror oddity, 'Him,' is finally headed to streaming.

When you can stream it

'Him' hits Peacock on December 19, 2025. If you prefer to own your movies, it already rolled out earlier this fall on digital storefronts and on disc, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD.

What it's about

This one plays in the sports-horror sandbox, which we do not get nearly enough of. Marlon Wayans stars as Cameron Cade, a blue-chip quarterback whose entire identity revolves around football. On the eve of the league's annual scouting Combine, an obsessed fan attacks him, leaving Cam with a serious brain injury that could end his career before it starts.

Enter Isaiah White, Cam's idol: an eight-time championship quarterback and full-on cultural icon. Isaiah offers to rehab and train Cam at his private compound, where he lives with his influencer wife, Elsie. The catch becomes obvious fast. The more intense the training gets, the more Isaiah's charm curdles into something controlling and sinister, pulling Cam into a psychological spiral he is wildly unprepared for.

Why Peele fans will care

Even when he is not in the director's chair, Peele's fingerprints tend to mean something weird and provocative is lurking under the genre hood. He made his feature directing debut with 'Get Out' in 2017, followed by 'Us' in 2019 and 'Nope' in 2022. On the writing and producing side, he also had a hand in 'Keanu' (2016), 'Candyman' (2021), and 'Wendell and Wild' (2022), and produced 'BlacKkKlansman' (2018) and 'Monkey Man' (2024). If that resume is your thing, 'Him' looks like another stylish pressure cooker with teeth.
